Shadoan continues to walk on the road towards Olvine in order for him to find a captain willing to take him to the Lethia region. Upon his arrival into the city of steel, he notices quite a commotion involving a lot of police near the docks. A group of Pokémon thieves were captured red handed in attempts to steal Pokémon from a few of the dock workers. As the thieves were prosecuted, the pier was shut-down for day.

“WHAT?!” Shadoan yells from the top of his lungs. “BUT….but…….” He takes a deep breath and sighs as he sits down on the street corner. “I need to get to Lethia…” As he stared at the ground, an old man with a long blue trench coat and white captain’s cap approached him. The bottom end of the coat was tethered, ripped and worn out, and the rotting leather of his boots could be noted. “If you need a boat to Lethia, I can take you there.” Shadoan looks up at the old captain and sits up to meet his point of view. “But the docks are closed; the police are looking over the scene of the crime for the other thieves.” The old man beckons Shadoan to follow him out of Olvine to a beach close by. A small ship had made anchor out in the waters a little ways from the beach. “Lethia is the league for Earth and Sky, the survivalist’s battle royal; if it’s the place you seek, I and my Pokémon will be your escorts.” Shadoan looked back at the Olvine and then back to the captain. Without much choice, he nodded and accepted the old man’s invitation.

The captain snaps his fingers as a Laprus rises from the water, its shell scuffed from battle. The old man greets it, petting its head. “Are you ready to head out old girl?” The Pokémon nodded its head as it turned around to allow Shadoan and the captain to mount aboard, making way for the ship ahead. Shadoan looked out over the water and asked the captain how he knew about the Earth and Sky league. The captain humbly replies “I use to be one of the elites… Now I guard the region with my life along with the rest of my crew.” He turns back to Shadoan and holds out an old tethered map. “GPS tracking systems will be useless once we land; a physical map will be required.” Shadoan accepts the map and stores it within his belt pack. “Why help me? Should you be helping the elites in the league?” The captain turns to face him with a grim face as they reach the ship. “I have simply been replaced. I come to each dock in every region to offer my services every year of the contest. I am only helping you as much as any other trainer I have helped over the years I have escorted them. Just be ready for the fights of your life… When you reach the finals, I pray you, among the other contestants succeed and get out alive.

That being said, the captain set sail for Lethia and arrived to the island safely within the small town. It was dark on their arrival, but plenty could be seen in the moonlight. The town contained the basic poke mart, a large Pokemon center, a towering hotel with a large hot spring out its back, a radio tower with a few satellite dishes attached to the structure and a few empty homes. Shadoan made his way for the hotel to check in for the evening.

Even though Jack had no knowledge of where the island was the captain seemed to know the way intimately. He weaved around rocks and reefs with keen eye precision and even knew where to find certain water pokemon along the way. There were mutliple times along the journey when he asked Jack if he wanted to stop to catch a seaking here or a poliwhirl there. Jack declined every time although he eventually grew curious enough to ask the captain how he knew so much about the area.

"I'm one of the few sea farers that the league hires to bring young ones, such as yourself, to the island. I've been trained ever since I got the job about each and every square inch of ocean that I travel through. So, if you don't mind me asking, why are you participating in the tournament?"

"I guess I just want to train myself. My team's pretty strong, but there's always someone tougher out there so I figure that this is a good place to find that person." Jack replied.

"So, if you win, what's your wish going to be?"

Jack chuckled, "I don't know about wishes. Ever since I was little my father taught me that all I needed in the world was just the things that I needed, not wanted. I never had a game system growing up, or a televison. I knew what they were I just never had them. I grew up with only what I needed and it's taught me that I don't need everything that I see. In fact I would be more than happy to just have the prize money. I could probably buy all the TMs I would need as well as anything else I needed throughout my life if I invest it wisely. I guess I'm as content as I'll ever be."

"Well that's good. We'll be arriving in less than an hour."

As the boat continued on the sun continued to slowly sink behind the horizon and by the time they had gotten to their destination the sky was pitch black. Just like he had read online the harbor town was pretty bare. There was a pokecenter, a mart, a hotel, a radio tower, and a few scattered houses. Jack thanked his ride and walked into the town. There wasn't anyone around so Jack decided the best thing to do was to at least check into the hotel. He just hoped it wasn't too crowded or expensive.

So onward Aaron went. Captain Briney seemed like a really nice guy. He always smiled and told about Aaron about his life story. He was very humorous. The gentle breeze of the timid yet powerful sea, along with the rays of the jolly sun made a perfect day to be sailing. Even though the day couldn't have been better, Aaron was still anxious to be arrive at the Lethia region.

Aaron was fast asleep when the Captain Briney said they had arrived. When Aaron opened his eyes, the jolly sun had been replaced by dark, gloomy clouds. The timid sea was getting a tad rowdy. Something was brewing, but Aaron didn't know what.

Aaron tried to pay Captain Briney, but he wouldn't accept. He doesn't transport people for the money, only for the look of hopefulness. He then gave Aaron a piece of advice: Always strive towards your dreams. Afterwards, Aaron wished Captain Briney a safe journey and started to head into town.

In the town Aaron was in, there was a Pokemon Center, a Pokemart, a hotel, a radio tower, and some houses that looked like they were built on unstable foundations. He hoped that the hotel was stable... and high class.

''Swellow, let's take a break! It's becoming dark! You can't handle it! Stop in that Isle'' Says Jay. Jay has tryied to survive in the small Isle, and he knows that the league will start soon. ''Im late for the league! Poliwhirl! Try to surf!'' Poliwhirl has tryied his best but the It's very dark and there are many clouds! And Jay have seen a boat and with an old guy...he looked like a Captain! Jay says quicly:

''Excuse me, could you take me to the Lethia region?'' The Captain looked at Jay surprisely and very, very strangely. The Captain says:

''So your in the Earth and Sky league...well if you want me to ask some questions if it's why im helping you, it's because three trainers are already in Lethia region! And what took you so long?! Your late for the tournament! And of course I can help you! Quick get in my boat, and i'l take you to Lethia!''

''T...Thanks Captain!'' the captain took an hour to arrive to the Lethia region, and Jay and the captain has arrived in the Lethia region. ''There are a Pokemon Center to the right and a Mart on the beach, and right there's an Hotel! The center's closed so I suggest you to go to the hotel!

''That's exactly where I am going to! And...thanks for the help,really! But where your goin'?'' Jay says. The Captain said to not worry about him. ''...See you on the league, kid...'' Jay didn't understand very much and he finally got to the hotel but Jay was thinking about the Captain...''

Upon Shadoan's entry into the hotel, the lobby was PACKED! Few trainers were signing in for rooms while others were all about the lobby. Trading pokemon, swapping information and forming teams for the contest. On the far right of the lobby, a massive table containing all the glorious food a person could want. Baked and fried meats, tossed build-it-yourself salad, fondue, several types of rolls ranging from honey to average, if it existed in their world, it was on the table to consume. There was even a large room containing all brands of pokemon food from apples and fruits, to the homade bits and pokeblocks, pokecandy, poffins and so on. Few trainers were in this room, eating with their teams. The table was setup by the league for the trainers to eat their fill before competing tomorrow so each of them could at least start on a full stomach before tackling the environments in the region.

The last item within the hotel to note was the Vendors hall. A hallway with various merchants that sold Pokeballs of all sorts, medicine both practical and homemade, transfer tags, physical maps of each region and where to find what pokemon and various other gadgets. They even sold badges from past tournaments as souvenirs while they also sold the current badge components at a large steep price per piece.

Shadoan's eyes were widen as he slowly made his way to the desk, he didn't know the league had so much to offer on the first day within the Lethia region. "Why do they even call it the Lethia Region?" Shadoan asks the clerk as she was setting up his room. "There use to be a pokemon here named Grimore, a massive pokemon about the size of this island, a real leviathan. It use to be said that it could spark life out of nothing and granted blessings. Few use to believe that its under the island, constantly moving the whole region. Though its just an old myth, it use to draw few trainers here to scope through the island for it." "I see......" He took his room key and decided to browse the floor a bit to explore, look for any information about the island.

Jay was resting in he's room...while that, the key was stolen! ''Oh,great...how can I open the door now?!'' And then Jay has seen someone running, so Jay are following the strange man. ''Raichu! Use Thunder in that guy...!'' Raichu hits the strange man and the strange man was an explorer of Lethia looking for a Pokemon named Grimore.

''But why did you stolen my key? What does a KEY help you in an adventure?'' Jay said. But then the strange man say:

''My name's Kai. And why does the key intereste me...to stole your Pokemon!'' Kai has running in the way of Jay's room and Jay was follow Kai until the end. Kai has open Jay's room but the only Pokemon who was here it's Swellow, swellow was resting in the room, Kai has picked Swellow.

Kai has found the exit for the hotel and he leaves...''I am a bad trainer...NO! I'l not let him get away with Swellow! Jay has followed Kai then a strange Pokemon that Jay has never seen before attacked Kai, and then he throw up Swellow's Pokeball to Jay. ''I will come back! Don't forget that!'' Kai said that he was from an evil organization,but Jay didn't know the name of that evil organization...and then the strange Pokemon fled! Kai drop Jay's key. Jay has picked up the Key.

Jay finally arrives to the hotel. ''BRR...it's really cold! ...could that Pokemon be Grimore? If it is...thanks a whole bunch...!''

Aaron was going to check into his room. While the clerk was checking for rooms that were available, Aaron stared at all the activity. People were trading Pokemon, trading TMs, and devising strategies for the upcoming tournament. Of course, he wouldn't trade his Pokemon, but he might see what TMs, people had to offer. He might even try to make an alliance.

Finally, the clerk said that they had a room available, but...well, Aaron was just going to have to find out. The clerk handed Aaron the card key. Then Aaron headed for the room. Aaron wondered what the clerk was about to say. What if the room wasn't ready and still needed to be cleaned? What if it was the smallest room they had? Oh no!

Aaron approached his room door. He inserted the card key and opened the door slowly. The door creaked as he peeked around the door. The lights were off. He turned the lights on and there was a man, standing there, smiling, creepily...

The two men stared at each other for a while. Finally, the creepy man said, "Ah, a challenger I see... Well, you picked the wrong man to challenge, for I am the 2nd strongest guard in this hotel!"

Aaron knew this was going to turn into a Pokemon battle real fast. Aaron took a look at the furniture. Nice. It shouldn't be ruined. He said, "If we have a Pokemon battle, can we take outside?"

They went outside and prepared to call out their Pokemon. Aaron's first battle at the Lethia Region, and it was over a hotel room. If only if it were for a badge...oh well. The bed looked comfy. People began to gather around.

Aaron called out Mantine while the creepy man pulled out Muk. The man told his Muk to use Sludge. Aaron told his Mantine to dodge it by using Agility and hit it with a close range Water Pulse. The Water Pulse looked like it hit hard, but Muk looked like it hadn't taken a scratch, albeit it was made of sludge. The Muk then used Sludge again, but this time, it hit Mantine hard. Aaron told his Mantine to use Confuse Ray. It hit, leaving Muk confused. Aaron told his Mantine to use Blizzard. It hit, which left Muk frozen. Now was Aaron's chance. Aaron told Mantine to keep using Water Pulse. Finally, Muk was defrosted. The man told his Muk to use Disable. Darn! Now Aaron couldn't use Water Pulse. The man commanded his Muk to use Sludge. Aaron had to try something. He told his Mantine to use Agility to dodge it again and use a close range Blizzard. It hit! Finally, Muk had fainted.

Aaron was surprised at how easy that was. The man congratulated Aaron. Aaron headed for the hotel, while the man headed for the Pokemon Center. Aaron entered his room. He made sure to lock the door and laid on his bed. Today was exhausting. Aaron quickly went to sleep.

The hotel was completely filled with all sorts of trainers. Many of them were busy conversing with each other no doubt talking about the tournament and other matters that trainers talked about. Jack's only focus right now was to find a room. If trainers always showed up in this number whenever the tournament began surely the hotel could house them all.

"While we don't have any free rooms available we do have special policies when our rooms are limited. You can share a room with another trainer but you'll still have to pay full price."

Jack frowned, he didn't know about sharing a room with someone he had never meant but the employee had already confirmed that a majority of the rooms had been taken and that if they did have any rooms they would give them to the trainers that had already been put on their waiting list. Jack finally gave in and paid his fee. He was given his key and he proceded up the flight of stairs. The hallways were filled with trainers. Some were shouting out challenges or asking for trades. Jack moved through the crowd and finally arrived at his room. He knocked at the door and waited as he heard his roommate moving around before a teenage girl opened the door, "Hello?"

"Hi there. My name's Jack Davis. I'm your roommate."

"Oh, well come on in."

Jack stepped inside and the girl closed the door. "I heard that they were using the policy, I didn't think my room would be on the list though, still make yourself at home. Oh I'm Carol by the way."

Jack saw Carol had already let out her pokemon in the room. A charmeleon, buizel, raichu, gloom, magby, and starmie were crowded around the televion and turned their attention on Jack for a brief moment before turning back to the program. "They let pokemon out here?" Jack asked.

"Yeah, they get trainers all the time. All you have to make sure is that they don't trash the place and it's all good."

Jack nodded and opened his pokeballs. His six pokemon came out, stretched, and looked around. Just seeing the other pokemon caused Echo's face to pale as she quickly ran behind Charlie. The kadabra sighed and went over to the corner and sat down to meditate. Echo, of course, followed him. Alpha rounded up the others and began to talk to Carol's pokemon. Pretty soon the pokemon, save for Charlie and Echo, were conversing amongst themselves. Jack spent most of his time getting his things ready for the morning and got ready for bed. It was already pretty late and Carol had already retired for the evening. Jack had tried to get some information from Carol about the tournament but she wouldn't tell him anything on account that he was her competition. Jack recalled his pokemon, made sure the door was locked, and retired to bed.

As the dawn came into light. Shadoan rushed downstairs to the lobby where the trainers were gathering at the front. The vendors were no longer in the hotel and have moved out into the region. The mountains of food that was placed on the table was now deserted, and the room of Pokemon food was left bare.

The old captain Shadoan had met came to the lobby, standing atop of the soap box. "QUIET!" He shouted with a firm voice that shook the room. The trainers came to a sudden silence as they paid their attention to the captain. "For the trainers who have come to this years tournament; the Earth and Sky: Battle Royale, I will now address you with the rules and warnings!" He released from a poke ball in his pocket, a black scaled Gyarados that loomed over the room. "Rule one, do not conduct your survival battles in this town for any purpose. Those caught fighting will be disqualified from Earth and Sky for life and their badge components will be distributed amongst other trainers at random all over the world. For those leaving Lethia to conduct survival battles in jhoto, unova, where ever you go, this rule applies to every town out there in those regions as well. We have agents and eyes where we need them, so don't think you won't get caught. Rule two, you will not kill another trainer and his or her Pokemon for the sake of obtaining the completion of your badge, the current elites are watching this island for such behavior and dispose of any culprit who attempts to do so to the authorities. Rule three, attempting to steal badge pieces from your opponents is not entirely acceptable, we will not stop you from such thefts, but be aware that you will not grow from the experience. This league is setup for survival and to become stronger while attempting to fight for the one wish to be granted, if you do not fight for your badges; then you will not survive your first rounds when you arrive to the finals." He pauses a moment to pull out a map and open it to the whole crowd.

"Rule four is to survive out there anyway possible. Lethia is filled with pokemon who are very territorial, so proceed lightly at risk. If you lack knowledge of what to eat or what to find, the poke mart here sells survival guide books based on Lethia. That book is also the only item the vendors should give to you freely if you visit them." He puts his map away and pulls out an old tobacco pipe, lighting it. "Last minute notes before you leave out into the world. Your cellphones, pokegears, radios and other devices are usable out here until 8 o' clock when the radio tower closes down for the night, if you have family you want to call or want the time to relax, do it before then. GPS systems are useless here in Lethia, the mountain environment in the region are magnetized to throw those machines off course so you will need a physical map which you can get from me or the mart here in town. The only reason your radios and other machines will work is because of the radio tower here that connects to the world out there, so don't monkey around when using anything that deals with the tower. Finally, if anyone has not yet noticed, your poke balls are currently locked. The league has requested the manager at the radio tower to broadcast a signal that irritates pokemon, your pokemon will not come out when you order them upon casting them. The signal only covers the town and 10 meters into the forest, you will be able to release them then when you reach beyond that distance. Your pokemon are still currently fine and unharmed, even with the signal broadcasting. The signal goes live after I finish my speech and will end at 12 P.M. on the dot. This signal will only broadcast for today and today only, so feel free to bring your pokemon back in or out of their balls if they need medical treatment or if you need to talk to them afterwards."

He takes a deep breath as he recalls his Gyarados. "Finally, your league badge is composed of 15 components. If you lose all your pieces, you can buy more from the vendors or you can leave the tournament and re-enter next year. If you can't handle the pressure, sell or give your components to another trainer. If you have human friends in the tournament, join up with them in an alliance or team if able, the more of you together, the better chances you have to live, just be aware that when you make it to the final rounds that you will be fighting one another. Don't let that fight break you apart, for that they may be the only people you hold dear to yourself along with your pokemon, stay strong together if you can. My final words are that I pray for your safety and that each of you may make it to the finals alive. Your league badges will point the way to the finals as soon as you complete them. The elite are waiting for you..... Good luck and GOOD HUNTING!" With that, the old captain walks outside and a very faint noise could be heard. A trainer tried to call out his pokemon once he stepped outside, but the Pokemon stayed in its ball. "Rapidash?" The trainer called, checking his pokeball. The Pokemon refused to come out.

Walking out, Shadoan looked about and sighed. "I guess I should have brought someone with me..."
He pulls out a small note book to write down what he knew about the tournament and the region.

Jack awoke early, like he usually did, and set about readying himself for the day. He made sure to prepare in the bathroom to avoid wakening Carol who was in a deep sleep. By the time he had finished Carol was still asleep so he crept over to his belongings and grabbed his backpack before he headed down stairs. Unlike last night the hallways were clear of traffic and the lobby only held a few trainers who wanted an early start like Jack. This meant that the tables that held his breakfast on them were brimming with food. Jack grabbed a few snaks and once he was done he waited. It wasn't that hard to wait, he had a crossword puzzle book that he had in his backpack. Time passed and more and more trainers entered the lobby, eventually the question being asked was when the tournament would start.

Eventually a elderly looking man came in and began to lay out the rules for the trainers. No fight inside cities, no killing, thefts were allowed, the pokemon were territorial, the radio tower closed at 8, and 15 pieces to complete a badge and enter the tournament. All in all not too many rules. Jack was good at memorization and this was no exception. As the trainers began to mingle once more Jack thought back to the man's advice about having an allegiance with other trainers. There were many trainers in the competition so it would actually be beneficial to have someone watching his back and if they worked together they could obtain more badge pieces and he could get his requirements out of the way early on.

As Jack looked around the crowd he spied a young man writing in a book. He had a red-sleeved shirt and five pokeballs on his belt. It didn't look like he had talked to anyone yet so this guy was his best bet. He walked up to him and smiled, "Hey there, my name's Jack Davis. I haven't seen you talking to anyone and I was wondering if you would form an alliance with me. My pokemon are well trained and prepared for any ecounter. So, you in?"

Aaron had woken up reasonably early. He had gathered his Pokemon and headed downstairs. He had some breakfast and listened to the chatter of other trainers. When was this thing starting?

Aaron remembered that he had to make an alliance. He looked around and tried to spy anybody who would be a potential partner. He spotted a girl who was sitting by herself, smiling at anybody who would pass by. He decided to approach her.

Shadoan closed his notebook, looking over at Jack. "My name is Shadoan Tribil and Ill form an alliance with you as long as we can find one more person to come along with us." He slips his notebook into the fanny pack behind his waist as he shook hands with Jack. The two boys stepped out into town as few of the trainers were charging out into the forest to get out of the signals range to released their pokemon. "If you have any money, we need to pool it to buy supplies. Food and water, we should also head back to the hotel to gather information on the vendors caravan. If they are located out there in the region, they must be using large pokemon to carry their wares, some trainers who were able to wake up early may have seen them head out. If so, we should hunt them down for the free survival guide and some medicine for emergencies..." He stops for a moment to think and chuckles.

"Sorry, Im getting ahead of myself.... That is something I would plan to do first, this is a battle royal, but were also suppose to survive in this region... Do you have any suggestions of what we should do? And any suggestion who are 3rd member should be?"

''Mew, Psychic!'' Jay said, he was battling a little girl, but a little girl participating in a battle royale? Well, that seems interesting! Mew has defeated she first pokemon, then she send a Victrebeel.

''Mew return, go Charmeleon!'' send Jay. ''Flamethrower!'' the Victrebeel has dodge this Flamethrower, but Victrebeel was really tired. Victrebeel has attacked with Razor Leaf, but not very effective...Charmeleon was a fire type anyway...Charmeleon defeated Victrebeel using Overheat, and Jay has won the battle.

Jay rested his pokemons in the Pokemon Center, and buy some food and pokeballs on the Pokemart. When Jay was walking, he has seen 2 trainers discuting about who the 3rd team member is. They looked like an alliance, Jay was interested and says:''May I be the 3rd member?''

Alright, he had at least one person he could count on. He still didn't know that much about Shadoan or what kind of team he was running, but still it was better to have a group than trying to go at this alone. Just from what he was seeing now Shadoan seemed to be a guy that knew his stuff. He was going on about water and food and supplies, obviously he had been here before or at least was a guy that prioritized his tasks. Eventually he brought up the issue of having a third member. Jack shrugged, "Do we even need a third member? I'm pretty sure both of us are talented trainers, we wouldn't be here if we weren't. Between the two of us we should have enough pokemon to keep us safe."

He looked out and saw other trainers already dispersing in groups, some were in groups with at least five trainers. He sighed, "Well, I suppose you are right. I'm not really sure who we could-"

Another guy walked up, ''May I be the 3rd member?''

Well, that was lucky. "I don't have a problem with that, do you Shadoan?"

"A third member would be somewhat critical. Put this into perspective, the league is a large battle between all trainers so there is no organization at this point. Meaning we would have to put up with and fight any of the trainers participating which can happen at any given time. We also need to take into account the pokemon here in the region. The old man stated the pokemon here can be territorial, if true, that also means they could also be hostile and attack trainers before he or she can have a chance to even respond." He takes a deep breath and sighs as he checks his watch to see when the signal would stop broadcasting, 3 hours until 12. "I am also considering a 3rd member for a better chance of survival. If it were two of us and one of us were badly thrashed, then we would be slowing the healthy member down in an attempt to move each other to safety or provide decent cover. If the one of us needed assistance in moving, it would be hard to traverse terrain while making the attempt to defend each other, I mean, who knows. Your pokemon for example could all be exhausted after a heated battle while defending ourselves and you could fracture an arm or leg. The same factor goes for me if I am in the same situation."

"On account of a 3rd member, one can defend, one can help assist or heal and the injured can focus on healing. If worse comes to worse where 2 of us are injured, we can at least use whatever remains of the healthy pokemon to setup a small camp in an attempt to heal what we can so we can make our way back to town..." He paused a moment to look at Jack and he sighed. "....My dad use to take me on camping trips... He would always go on about things like this so I could be ready when I took my pokemon journey-"

Jay approached the 2.
''May I be the 3rd member?''

Jack "I don't have a problem with that, do you Shadoan?"

Shadoan pauses for a moment and slightly smiles "No I don't... Alright." He points outside to the poke-mart. "First stop, food and supplies, then next stop, where ever those vendors are... We can share our pokemon team line-up when were out of the broadcasting signals range."

"First stop, food and supplies, then next stop, where ever those vendors are... We can share our pokemon team line-up when were out of the broadcasting signals range."

Jack nodded his head, "Yeah, we can do that. Yesterday I was able to visit Lilycove City so I have all the hyper potions and ultra balls I need. I can help with getting the food and whatever else we'll need to survive on the island. On the topic of the vendors, how will we find them? If we can't use GPS then it'll be blind luck that we bump into one. Maybe the mart has something that can locate them?" Jack walked toward the mart, "We can worry about that later though. Right now we can just shop for supplies for ourselves, we all know how much we need to survive in the wild. I'll meet you two back here later."

Jack made sure to buy not only food for himself, but also for his pokemon. Pokemon naturally had a load of energy so whenever he had a day that lacked battles his pokemon could survive on just one meal. This was a battle royale, however, he wouldn't be that lucky this time. He bought enough food to last about a week for him and about two weeks for his pokemon. He doubled checked over his supplies and strapped on his backpack tightly. As soon as he met back up with the others they could finally head out and begin this royale.

Coming out of the mart with Jay, bags loaded down with food and supplies as they walked out and began their trek into the forest.

Shadoan pulled out the old tattered map as the group studied it. "Jack, you were right. Someone did see the vendors make their departure, I'm into searching for the badge pieces they sell and a tool called a transfer tag, the ability to swap out Pokemon anywhere in the world, though its a 1 time use per tag. We might even find some trainers heading that way as well, meaning more encounters to fight for the components."

He scans the map and finds the sticker marked on the base of the mountain. "A trainer mentioned in the mart that the vendors were here and planning to move towards the mountains before sundown. We should be able to get to them before they pack up." Before he puts up his map, its snatched out of his hand by a trainer in a black uniform and black cap. Running off with it, the group chases after him, eventually, breaking off and surrounding him. The trainer looked panicked as he checked the time. With a sigh of relief, he has a menacing grin and calls out "Give me your badge components or pay with your health!" He pulls out a poke ball and tosses it up into the sky, releasing Steelix.

Soon enough everyone had gathered their own supplies and they headed off into the jungle. Shadoan had already started talking again and Jack let him talk. The guy was smart, but if anything he gave too much information. He seemed to think three steps ahead instead of focusing on the now. Jack didn't have too much of a problem with it but he also didn't see why Shadoan had to make sure to plan everything ahead. Most of the time plans never worked out, which is why he trained his team to act on instinct. You just never knew what could happen.

"Jack, you were right. Someone did see the vendors make their departure, I'm into searching for the badge pieces they sell and a tool called a transfer tag, the ability to swap out Pokemon anywhere in the world, though its a 1 time use per tag. We might even find some trainers heading that way as well, meaning more encounters to fight for the components. A trainer mentioned in the mart that the vendors were here and planning to move towards the mountains before sundown. We should be able to get to them before they pack up.""

Jack nodded, that sounded like a sound plan. If the vendors were moving around constantly then they would have to double time to get to them. Just as Shaodoan was putting up the map a man with a black uniform on just grabbed it and ran off. "Hey get your own map!" Jack shouted as he ran after the man with the others. Why even steal something that you can easily pick up at a mart?, Jack thought. Eventually the three cornered him and the man took out a pokeball. "Give me your badge components or pay with your health!" He released a Steelix.

Jack just had to laugh, "You honestly think you can take on the three of us, with a potential of eighteen pokemon while you yourself can at the max carry only six? Why don't you drop the map and save yourself the embarrassment." Jack grabbed Foxtrot's pokeball, "Come on out Foxtrot!" The sableye materialized and grinned at his opponent, "Sab!"

"Foxtrot use Night Shade!" Foxtrot shot out black beams from his eyes and hit the Steelix with them. Most of Foxtrot's ghost moves were useless against the Steelix, but he could use detect to his advantage. "Foxtrot be prepared to dodge his attacks!" Jack shouted.

Shadoan pulled out a pokeball and tossed it out. "Lets go, Avaith!" With a toss of the red and white ball, Avaith sprung forth onto the battle field.

NPC: "Steelix! Dig!" the steel type pokemon dug underground as the group prepared for a counter attack. "Give our suckers a warm welcome." The ground rumbled as the trees began to fall down from every direction towards the trainers. While the grunt stood perfectly still, the others and the pokemon had to dodge oncoming objects. "NOW, USE SCREECH!"

A bellowing noise came from under the ground as Steelix rose itself above ground. "Avaith! Burn that hunk of metal alive! Flamethrower!" Avaith complied as it let loose its flames, damaging the Steelix and forcing it back underground.

The grunt chuckles. "I don't think I'm the one outnumbered here..." The group soon heres a roar of buzzing and sounds deep in the forest as they turn to see a short rampage of bug pokemon coming to their position. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I bid you, adiue! Ill be taking your badge pieces when the bugs are done with you.... STEELIX! LAUNCH!" His steel pokemon peered its head and jumped out of the ground with its trainer riding its back to another location far off. Stealing the map was a setup for a trap!

Aaron and Cherelyn were walking through the forest talking, having a great time, but always watchful for other trainers. They were taking a rest on a mossy log when they suddenly heard the earth shake.

Cherelyn almost fell off the log, while Aaron stood up. What was causing that? Was it an earthquake? Then it hit them, it was a Pokemon battle. They also heard a piercing Screech. They decided to go towards the noise.

While going towards the assumed battle, they hear a lot of buzzing, like a rampage of bug Pokemon. They decided to peek through the trees and found some trainers with their Pokemon.

There was a big barrage of Bug Pokemon and only three trainers. They debated on helping them. Cherelyn wanted to help, but Aaron was afraid that they wouldn't be trustworthy. In the end, Cherelyn won.

Aaron and Cherelyn jumped in, right beside the three trainers and sent out their Pokemon, ready to help.

Shadoan, Jack and Jay were heading out on the mart to buy some supplies, then they got on the jungle. ''Jack, you were right. Someone did see the vendors make their departure, I'm into searching for the badge pieces they sell and a tool called a transfer tag, the ability to swap out Pokemon anywhere in the world, though its a 1 time use per tag. We might even find some trainers heading that way as well, meaning more encounters to fight for the components. A trainer mentioned in the mart that the vendors were here and planning to move towards the mountains before sundown. We should be able to get to them before they pack up.'' says Shadoan.

Then a a guy came from nowhere with black uniform with an ''R'' on his uniform and he steals the map. ''T-T-Team Rocket!!!'' said Jay. Team Rocket was an evil organization that Jay battled before on Kanto. They steal Pokemons and they use Pokemon for their dirty work. ''Twerp?! Hmph! Enough, go Steelix!'' the Team Rocket Grunt sends a Steelix.

Jack laughs and says that the team rocket grunt doesn't stand a chance with three trainers with eighteen pokemons. ''Alright, go Espeon! Psychic!'' Everyone fights the steelix, it's just like an 3 vs 1 battle. But then he release a huge group of bugs Pokemons. ''Oh no...Espeon come back! Go Charmeleon!'' Since bug pokemon are weak against fire types... but, it was like an huge group vs 3 pokemons. But then 2 trainers jump out to help Jay, Jack and Shadoan. ''Aha! What will you do...oh no!!! The map!!!! Let's go guys! Quick!'' said Jay. All trainers fight the group of bugs and they win the battle., but the team rocket run away... ''No problem! Maybe Jack's mental powers can help us find the map!''

Shadoan sighs. "Don't bother looking or finding the map, he'll be back."
He says returning his Quilava. "Unless the leagues representatives catch him first... Trying to kill us for the badge using bug pokemon... If what the old man back at the hotel said was true, there should already be an agent after him..."
Shadoan sighs and turns his head to Aaron and Cherelyn "Thanks for the assist..."

''So, guys, since we haven't got anymore the map, what should we do?'' It's getting late. Maybe you should return to the hotel, I will go to a little place.'' Jay leaves. But he can't find the exit, he was lost on the forest. ''Darn it. Where it was..? Swellow, out...Fly...!'' Jay's Swellow used Fly. Then he returned back, and it looks it was starting to rain so Jay found the exit of the forest and was in the place where he first met a strange pokemon, Grimore. ''......................Grimore...why did he appeared here? Right in front of me? That makes no sense.'' And then it started to rain. Jay was very unlucky this time, he didn't go in the hotel and decided to rest at Pokemon Center. He did rest Swellow, but then Jay asked a question to the nurse, nurse Joy. ''Excuse me, Joy right? May I have more information about that Gromore pokemon?'' The nurse nodded and says that Grimore is more a Lethian than a Pokemon, he's strong, but never battled many trainers. There are many evil organizations around here in Lethia just to catch Grimore. ''Sorry but that's all I know, no one knows MANY information about that Pokemon, it's 95% rare, if your searching for him, your chance is 5% for him to appear, he just appear for the trainers helping him.''

''Thanks for the info, that's all I want to know.'' Jay leaves the center, and head to the hotel. Maybe Jack or Shadoan haven't arrived here yet. But Jay was thinking... ''Why did he appear in front of me? Did I help him? Oh, yeah ,that strange Kai was after him. Maybe Kai was going to catch Grimore? But I prevented from happening that?''
